12 Days of Christmas Giveaways

December 1, 2016

Holiday style: green velvet party dress

Dress: Urban Outfitters | Shoes: Similar | Purse: Charming Charlie | Choker: Bauble Bar | Lipstick color: MAC “Diva”

The holidays have creeped up on us yet again! I could go on and on about how fast this year has flown by but if that’s what it takes to get us to Christmas time, then I can’t complain one bit. As soon as Thanksgiving ends and it becomes socially acceptable to start decorating for Christmas and playing Santa tunes on repeat, I become my happiest (s)elf! Even if Houston doesn’t feel like a winter wonderland, that isn’t stopping me from drinking hot chocolate or watching Christmas movies like they are going out of style.

This year I have been fortunate enough to work with so many amazing brands that have truly helped my small business grow and have allowed me to be able to keep this little blog afloat. Of course, absolutely none of that would mean anything if it weren’t for all of YOU that continually support me and my dreams. So to show my appreciation, I have teamed up with 12 different brands to bring you some pretty amazing gifts to get you in the holiday spirit! You might also see a few appearances from some of my favorite (rein)deers that made my first year of blogging one to remember!

Starting today, I will be giving away a gift every single day for 12 days. Some big, some small, some cozy, some stylish, and some specifically for my Houston ladies. In order to enter each giveaway make sure you are checking the blog every day and also following me on Instagram. While you do not have to have an Instagram, most of the giveaways will require it. Each giveaway will go live at 8 am CST each day and run for 24 hours until the next giveaway is announced. For this particular giveaway series, winners must reside within the United States. I will announce the winners of each giveaway on my Instagram stories so be sure you are following along!

First up, I have partnered with Cacay Natural Oils to gift 3 lucky readers a Cacay Oil set. It was not until this year that I started using oils and now I am forever changed. I love using the Cacay Oil before bed to lock in my moisturizer. I not only have softer skin, but it has helped with my dark circles and is supposed to prevent and fight off wrinkles too! These make the perfect stocking stuffers or Christmas gifts, especially for the ladies that are wanting to up their skin care regimen. To enter follow the below steps. You must have an Instagram to enter in this giveaway.

My family started the Christmas jammie tradition last year and it is already one of my favorites! If you do not know what I am talking about, I am referring to where every Christmas Eve the entire family will wear matching pajamas and so that come Christmas morning it makes for some cute family photos because we doesn’t love to match?! The way that my mom does it is that she will wrap up our pajamas and let us open one present on Christmas Eve. Any guesses what it is?! 🙂

If you do not already have this tradition with your family, it is certainly a cute and fun one! I HIGHLY suggest buying your matching pajamas like yesterday. Come December it will be impossible to find available sizes online and nobody likes getting down to the wire and then not being able to find what they are looking for. If you do not see anything that immediately catches your eye above, I do have an entire Christmas Jammies shop page, that you should check out because it has even more options!

There is a good chance that several of these options will go one sale for Black Friday and/or Cyber Monday but that is also when most stores sell out. So my sincere advice to you is to go ahead and make your purchases now and not risk being able to find them later on.

I don’t know about all of you but I am getting so excited to cozy up by the fire in some soft jammies, sip hot chocolate, and watch Christmas movies. Stay tuned for more gift guides throughout the week and first dibs on the best Black Friday deals!

4 Thanksgiving Outfit Ideas

November 18, 2016

*Shop any of the above looks by clicking on the item in the above collage or the direct links below. *

We are getting so close to Thanksgiving that I wanted to share with you all a few different outfit ideas that are perfect for almost any type of occasion. Wether you plan to chill on the couch all day or are heading to the Cowboys game, these 4 different outfits are suited for the the gal that wants to be casual and cute!

Outfit 1

Headed somewhere chilly? This fur vest has your name written all over it. I love mixing textures and patterns so I highly suggest wearing a fun plaid or striped top under your fur vest. This outfit could also easily be worn with leggings just upsize in your top!

Outfit 2

You can’t go wrong with these basics especially when you just want to be comfortable for a long day of stuffing yourself with good food. I own this striped top and am probably going to buy it in a few more colors because it is THAT cozy! The puffer vest and riding boots polish off this look and add a little extra warmth.

Outfit 3

This is another super casual outfit choice that leaves plenty of room for seconds. These pants fit more like leggings and are the perfect amount of distressed. I own this vest and receive a million complements every time I wear it, not to mention I love how light weight that it is! This is perfect for those of you that are looking at 65-75 degree weather on turkey day!

Outfit 4

Looking for something a little nicer but is still going to leave room for that food baby you are already anticipating? This sweater dress comes in 3 colors and looks so cute with a blanket scarf and over the knee boots. If you are going somewhere a little warmer, ditch the blanket scarf and add booties instead.

On a related note, don’t forget to check out my Holiday Shop tab on the blog for all of your holiday needs including gift guides, items for the home, Christmas pajamas (make sure you stock up early because these ALWAYS go out of stock by beginning of December), and so much more. The favorites tab is also another option that has tons of options for Thanksgiving apparel as well as items that you can wear all through the season. These tabs are located at the top, left of your screen in the Holiday Shop section.

Be sure that you are checking back as I update and add to these tabs every single day. I will also have all of the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales listed early here as well as some of my top picks. If you aren’t a fan of fighting the crowds on these two days but want to get ahead on your Christmas shopping or are just looking for some great deals, make sure you are following along on the blog and Instagram to get live updates on the best sales!

Hi friends! It’s been awhile since I did a Friday Favorites post so I’m bringing it back in full force with a huge Nordstrom Fall sale round up. You can expect to see lots of these round ups and gift guides over the next couple of months so that you have everything you could possibly need for the holidays.

Speaking of the holidays, I finally have my Holiday Shop tab up for you guys and I will be adding to it through out the remainder of the year. You can see a snipit below of my website so that you can find exactly where it is located on the top of your screen. You will eventually see categories like Thanksgiving outfit inspiration, christmas gift ideas, and so much more so make sure you check it out. If you are looking for something specific, please let me know so that I can get it added. I’ve gone ahead and added these Fall essential items on the Fall Under $100 tab and will continue to add new tabs each time I do a gift guide like this.
